The Nebraska Meal & Nutrition Service Provider Policy Manual establishes a comprehensive framework for delivering meal and nutrition services in compliance with Nebraska state regulations, Medicaid guidelines, and federal standards. This manual aligns with the Nebraska Administrative Code (471 NAC), Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requirements, and applicable federal nutrition program standards, such as those outlined by the Older Americans Act (OAA) and Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers.
The manual includes policies on provider qualifications, meal preparation standards, nutritional guidelines, service delivery protocols, documentation requirements, and reimbursement procedures. It defines the scope of services, including the provision of home-delivered meals, congregate dining programs, and specialized dietary accommodations for individuals with medical or cultural needs. 
The manual also addresses eligibility criteria for recipients based on medical necessity or HCBS waiver enrollment and outlines procedures for monitoring service quality through regular client feedback and audits.
Designed to support providers in meeting state licensure and Medicaid certification requirements, this manual ensures the safe and effective delivery of meal and nutrition services while promoting health and independence for vulnerable populations. It serves as an essential resource for navigating Nebraska’s regulatory framework for meal service providers.
